Emirati grace flows from top to bottom, and when HH Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan tells every Indian, "This is your country," it reflects the mindset of every local Emirati.

My DMs are filled with messages from my Emirati brothers and sisters saying, "UAE is your country too" and "You are one of us, Kaartik"

"In UAE, everyone is an Emirati" is not just an empty slogan; it’s a principle that is truly put into practice.

Thank you, UAE—you’re not just among the best places to live and thrive, you are truly THE BEST 🙏

Looking back at this special day 🇮🇳🇦🇪

HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, arriving in New Delhi on a working visit.
Receiving him at Palam Air Base — PM Narendra Modi himself.

That handshake at the aircraft tells the whole story. It’s not just diplomacy. It’s brotherhood.

The UAE and India don’t just work together. We grow together. In trade, in culture, in community.
And the UAE will always be a second home for India.

Moments like these remind us why the UAE-India partnership is one of the strongest in the world today.

Proud of this bond. Proud of this memory. 🇦🇪🇮🇳

I once met a man who had Stage 3 brain cancer. As per his oncologist, he had around 2-3 years to live.

There was a surgery available which could have removed the tumour, but it was risky and could have had serious implications, if it went wrong.

I asked that man. What are you afraid of? Dying?

His reply was, "He is afraid of not dying. What if the surgery is successful, but leaves his brain half-functioning, or his motor functions are impaired, or his hands start shaking?" He was a smart man, and damn good at his work. And he didn't know what he would be without those those things.

He wanted to live 2 full years, than have a risky chance of living 10 more years as a dependent vegetable.

The conversation with him was a revelation. More than actual death, what he feared was the process of death. Living without fulfilling his hearts' pursuits was a worse form of death for him. And he didn't want to leave behind memories of him being sick, for his family.

I was convinced with his rationale. I advised him to make his own decision, follow his heart. But, his wife and kids convinced him to undergo the surgery. They loved him and didn't want to lose him after 2 years. He too loved them, and he said, it's fine. He will do what the family wants. If he doesn't undergo surgery, his family will be unhappy, and then he won't have full 2 years anyway.

The 1st surgery went well, but some complications happened, and he got septic. He had to undergo a successive 2nd surgery. And he died at the operating table.

The family was devastated. The wife and kids blamed themselves. And a man who could still have 2 full love & fun filled years, was no more.

For me, this was a lesson of a loss born out of love. It was today, 31st July, 2019 that this man died. And, I will carry the lessons he taught me for the rest of my life. Sometimes, when we do something for the person we love, we don't do it to make them happy, we do it to make ourselves happy.

Don’t know about Rang De Basanti, but let me tell you what some of us millennials actually grew up watching.

I was in primary school during the 1993 Mumbai bombings -- too young to even understand what terrorism meant. But I distinctly remember my mom repeatedly warning me not to pick up anything lying around while playing outside because, you know, it could be a bomb.

That was childhood.

Then came the seemingly endless procession of attacks: the 1993 Mumbai blasts, Red Fort in 2000, Parliament in 2001, the Mumbai bus bombings and Akshardham in 2002, three separate blasts within eight months in Mumbai in 2003, the 2005 Delhi blasts, the 2007 Hyderabad bombings, and the 2008 Bangalore and Ahmedabad blasts.

In July 2006, I was supposed to be on one of the trains that was bombed near Mahim. I stayed back at the office because of a meeting. A completely mundane change of plans is probably the reason I’m alive to type this instead of being a name on a list of the dead.

I remember that evening far better than I remember any stupid movie. Our office went into lockdown. Phones were jammed. People were crying and frantically trying to reach their families. Nobody knew what was happening, whether there were more bombs, or whether someone they loved was lying dead inside a mangled train compartment.

Two years later came 26/11.

I had the misfortune of watching uncensored footage of the aftermath. One clip showed bodies being piled and stacked inside a makeshift room at CST while someone wheeled in another load on a bloodied wheelbarrow, with blood dripping onto the floor. The sanitised footage shown on television didn't come remotely close to what actually happened inside that station.

So yes, us millennials lived through an era where we went to work knowing that the crime of simply boarding the wrong train, getting on the wrong bus, eating at the wrong restaurant, or standing on the wrong street at the wrong fucking moment could get you blown to pieces or riddled with bullets.

Some of us literally went to work wondering, somewhere at the back of our minds, whether this would be the commute we wouldn't come home from.

So please, spare us millennials this sanctimonious horseshit about Rang De Basanti and what some Bollywood movie supposedly should have taught us about how to vote.

You cannot shake a person who has lived through failure, carried responsibilities beyond their age, lost people they loved, struggled financially, and still chose to move forward.

They have already faced the version of life that was meant to break them.

Everything after that is just another challenge, not the end of the story.

If a corporator thinks it’s okay to beat up a doctor, then the next time there’s a pothole in a road in his area, is it okay to beat him?
